Dan Fendryk Review of American Foundation Specialist...
Fantastic People, Fantastic Company. I called Amer...
Fantastic People, Fantastic Company. I called American Foundation Specialists to give me an estimate to fix my basement foundation per the recommendation of a foundation engineer. The first company quoted me approximately $13,000.00. When Jamie and Lyle, with American Foundation Specialists, came out and started to take measurements, he determined that the corner of my basement in question was actually only 1/8" low and not over 1" low like the engineer stated. He then reached out to an engineer that he usually works with who was highly experienced in evaluating these types of issues. The next day they came back out and met me and the engineer to look at the foundation issue. The new engineer agreed with American Foundation Specialists and reported that there was no continuing movement in the foundation and that it was likely caused from initial settling when the house was built. Since I was doing this in order to sell my house I was being forced to make this repair. This was a $13,000 project that they could have gotten from me and made good money on. Instead, they volunteered 2 different 1+ hour trips to my house to help me get a correct report and avoid wasting money on an unnecessary repair. They were not even going to charge me for their visits but I insisted that I had to give them something in return for their time. After my experience with American Foundation Specialists, I cannot imagine that there is another company around with their honesty, character, and expertise. I'm still blown away that they took a job that would have been theirs and money out of their pocket and instead invest time to help me SAVE $13,000 and get the right answers.
